I don't understand why Heavenly Father would have decided not to prompt Jori or Dwight through the power of the Holy Ghost to check on CJ. <br /><br />CJ himself also had the Gift of the Holy Ghost bestowed upon him, but he didn't receive any promptings either. <br /><br />The bishop?<br /><br />The siblings?<br /><br />The other priesthood leaders?<br /><br />Nobody.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have been here for 60 years and have never been as shaken as I am today. My heart breaks to see this just play out as if it really was "God's Will" for CJ to die. I am sickened to my core and truly hope to overcome this one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040514216870110516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-22098920836241467512014-03-31T18:07:47.273-07:002014-03-31T18:07:47.273-07:00Yes CJ was baptized--Jori says he couldn't wai...Yes CJ was baptized--Jori says he couldn't wait--he loved it--and shared his testimony the first Sunday of every month at Church.<br />Monya https://www.blogger.com/profile/03867857072394289625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-75754252458820957032014-03-23T23:04:13.765-07:002014-03-23T23:04:13.765-07:00Did CJ get a chance to be baptized?Did CJ get a chance to be baptized?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040514216870110516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-71784662032371756412014-03-23T12:14:37.048-07:002014-03-23T12:14:37.048-07:00Yes, Saphire survived, she is sad and wonders arou...Yes, Saphire survived, she is sad and wonders around looking for CJ.

He was brought to this earthly life to get a body, he comforted and blessed so many people with his contagious personality--WE are left with an empty hole in our hearts, especially Jori and Dwight at this time, but their faith in Jesus Christ is the motivation to move forward with a HOPE and knowledge they will see CJ again, CJ with a perfect body, perfect mind we need to live with a perfect intent to become more like our Savior, so we can live again with our Family for Eternity.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377708515555917753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-42667668238516110022014-03-22T00:22:45.973-07:002014-03-22T00:22:45.973-07:00Beautiful writing.

My heart absolutely breaks for her. she, and you, are just such sweethearts. One thing that caught my attention though was how people keep mentioning a "purpose" that CJ had. As far as I can see, he died early and didn't even have a chance to serve a purpose. His handicap led him to his tragic death :( - a normal boy wouldn't have died this way. It is so devastating. God bless you Jori. Heavenly Father loves you and knows you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040514216870110516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-84285253725556047452014-03-19T15:12:14.807-07:002014-03-19T15:12:14.807-07:00Joy--I agree it seems to us, CJ was taken too soon...Joy--I agree it seems to us, CJ was taken too soon. Trying make sense of it leads me to believe that we truly do not know what will happen next, we are not in charge. Living life to the fullest everyday, loving purely, and seeking happiness in all we do is so vital to me. Sometimes I have spent so much time worrying about dying that I've forgotten to live. I'm sure for your sweet Thomas this is going to be a different experience for him--my heart goes out to all the children who loved him so much, and who don't understand what to do with their emotions.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377708515555917753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-4503558423713294222014-03-19T11:07:11.872-07:002014-03-19T11:07:11.872-07:00I cried so hard reading your sweet and thoughtful ...I cried so hard reading your sweet and thoughtful words. Jori is so lucky to have a friend like you. My sweet Thomas is 11 and has DS; he and CJ were often at the same events and even played t ball together. CJ was such a sweet boy. This broke my heart, he was just too young and it was too soon.Joy Monteath Atteberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268617890956114943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111427473441915884.post-34552580614689410612014-03-17T02:57:20.885-07:002014-03-17T02:57:20.885-07:00Saddened by this tragic day and grateful they have...Saddened by this tragic day and grateful they have incredible friends to help long after the day is done.
